Vavi, Mboweni engage in Twitter spat

January 8 is traditionally a day of raised fists, "amandlas", and reflections over the birthday of the ANC.

Meanwhile on Twitter, former reserve bank governor Tito Mboweni and suspended Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi chose to suspend the revolution for a brief to-and-fro over Vavi’s alleged allegiance to ANC defectors.

Fear not, comrades, this revolution was not televised. Mboweni said it was "public knowledge" that Vavi could potentially lead a National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa/Economic Freedom Fighters coalition in the elections: a damning allegation that, if true, would finally put paid to rumours that such a workers' party was being formed to the left of the ANC.

@Zwelinzima1 It is public knowledge that negotiations are on between NUMSA and EFF about whether you or Juju should lead EFF to elections.
